I have a 2,3,5 hp Lister ball hopper. the 5hp takes a Bosch type 22 mag. It has a trip arm that hits a cam lobe. Not easy to find. I know where there is an extra in an estate that I might have a chanch at later this year. al

YES THAT HELPS. I WAS CONFUSED BY THE ROTATING CAM FLANGE AND WAS WONDERING IF IT HAD A GEAR ON IT DRIVING A ROTARY MAG. NOW I SEE THAT IT IS AN OSCOLLATING MAG LIKE WEBSTER. THANKS DAVE
